EgyptAir says the two Boeing 777-300ERs that it recently ordered provide significant value to the airline considering the competitive environment under which it operates. Capt. Tawfik Assy, Chairman of EgyptAir Holding Company, says “the notable fuel efficiency of Boeing’s 777, combined with the airplane’s extensive range and large cargo capacity, is something EgyptAir values highly in this competitive environment.”
The airline’s recent order of two Extended Range jetliners forms part of twin-aisle fleet upgrade for its long-haul service. The airline says the order is worth $529 million at current list prices.

Capt. Assy says the airline looks forward to taking advantage of its membership of the Star Alliance to increase its connectivity across the globe and bring its passengers the utmost in cabin comfort and service with a dynamic new business class layout that will debut on the 777-300ER.
